Section 11 Homeland
The left hand couldn't help but touch his wife's round lower abdomen, "I heard you wake up......"
"It's still dark, it's early, let's sleep again......" I guessed that it was time now.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep......"
"Come if you want, but you have to be lighter......"
"No, it's better to be careful."
"Because of the exercise? Did he discipline you? ”
"What are you thinking! What's more, the exercise did not lose either. ”
"If you take a fancy to that little nurse, I, I don't object...... But you have to lead her in the door, you can't keep her outside......"
"What do you mean by secretly raising?!" He became angry, and then thought of the doll in his wife's belly, and suppressed his anger again, "Mengshan Army has no concubines yet." ”
His wife's suspicions were not unfounded. He did fall in love with the delicate little nurse recruited from Jinan, and his appearance may not be as good as his wife who has never been pregnant with a second child, the key is sweetness. Every time he went to the hospital, he couldn't help but laugh with the little goblin.
The hospital is a second-standard hospital, as long as no one comes to the headquarters, he is the boss of this territory, who dares to ask him about it? Even if someone from the headquarters came, no one would pay attention to it except one person. In the Mengshan Army, which has become a climate, who dares to compare with himself in terms of position and qualifications?
After everything was on track and life was completely settled, the desire to have a son was so desperate. Naturally, the wife is pregnant. Unexpectedly, the originally slender and beautiful wife became ugly after being pregnant with her second child, not to mention her bloated figure, and she had ugly spots on her face...... The old mother hired by the family congratulated him, and his wife must have given birth to a boy this time! He had heard similar legends. For example, boys don't dress up as mothers and so on.
"You men, always eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, everyone is the same. By the way, where was Sister Moon Cicada sent? ”
"It's not convenient to ask. I won't say if I ask. Those guys from the Intelligence Division......"
"It's been three months, and there's no news at all."
"She is already a member of the ranks, and she must obey orders. Besides, she volunteered to go to the intelligence department. Zhou Yi sat up, the window was gray, the sky dawned early in summer, but it was actually early.
"It's early. What do you do? ”
"What can you do?" Pull out your pocket watch from under your pillow. Leaned closer to the window and looked around, it was just five o'clock. Get up in cloak and prepare to go out to check the sentry, and then go out to drill with the guards.
I heard that Lu Shan's house lived in the barracks except Sundays, and after fighting with the troops. Although Zhou Yi did not learn from Lushan and moved out of the house. But every morning I led the team out for exercises.
By the hazy light. Zheng Chan watched her husband get dressed neatly, tied up the armed belt, and took out a pistol from under the mattress next to the pillow and put it in the holster hanging on the belt. "By the way, you get up and dress up, and now the old You family marries a daughter-in-law, we have to go over."
"Hmmm......"
The door creaked, and he went out. Zheng Chan buried her head in the quilt, her emotions came up, and she sobbed silently.
is not only planning to take a concubine for her husband, but also for the starry scattering of her family.
When the husband took a fancy to the little nurse in the hospital, he heard it from his mother. After two months, I can now face it calmly. It is said that Long Qian once proposed that the officers of the Mengshan Army not take concubines for life, but they were collectively opposed. It seems that Long Qian's words don't all count......
The second brother withdrew with Lord Cao Kun, first to Jinan, and then to Zhili. After a letter was sent from Jinan, there was no more news. Then they also moved from the Zheng family's mansion to Yanzhou Mansion. The eldest brother is even more elusive, and his life and death are uncertain. Meng Shanjun's arrest warrant for his eldest brother Zheng Cheng has not been eliminated so far. The eldest brother probably escaped from Yizhou a long time ago, otherwise her husband would not have no news.
Wang Yuecian vigorously tracked down who leaked the secret in Zhengjiazhuang, but to no avail. During that time, she always went to the intelligence department to report to Jiang Yun, and it was probably at that time that Jiang Yun took a fancy to her. She did not come to Yanzhou with the second standard, but followed the headquarters to Yizhou. Since then, the two have not seen each other again. Last year, I received a letter from Wang Yuechan, saying that she was no longer in the hospital, and she had changed her errand, and she was afraid that she would not be contacted in the future, so she had to take care of herself. Later, when she heard from her husband, she officially entered the intelligence department. Now there is no news.
The only family member left around is his mother Wen. I don't know when it was difficult to communicate with my mother, and I always quarreled. Just like this time, he wanted to marry Xiao, but his mother persuaded him to be patient. Say that as long as you give birth to a son for him this time, your status will not be shaken...... After the daughter was two years old, she was handed over to her mother, who was always thinking about the Zheng family's old house and always had to go back to her hometown for a few months every year. I returned to my hometown with my daughter before Qingming and still lives in my hometown.
There is no one to speak to his heart.
She hated her eldest brother Zheng Cheng very much, not only did she not take care of her, but she kept making trouble for her and bringing her husband. Thinking about it from another perspective, people will not forgive the culprit who plotted to murder him, right? Zheng Chan could feel her husband's anxiety, and after that incident, it seemed that her relationship with Long Qian was estranged......
Therefore, the husband will pay special attention to the happy events of the You family.
Zheng Chan lay on the bed thinking about her thoughts, until the sun shone into the room and illuminated the wall, she chose a New Year's painting, and the cute doll in a red belly pocket holding a big fish smiled at her. She finally got up, freshened up a little, and went to the kitchen for breakfast. The hired maid and cook had already prepared breakfast.
After the meal, Zheng Chan followed her husband's orders and began to dress herself. She sat at the dresser and stared at herself, realizing that she had really become ugly. Even if you count yourself as only twenty years old, in any case, "old" has nothing to do with you, but in fact, you are already ugly before you are old. The hair has become dull and the face has yellow spots, which are more noticeable because they are fair.
Is this the price of motherhood? When I gave birth to a daughter, I said that I was more beautiful. But since conceiving this child, it has become like this...... She couldn't help but hate the child in her belly.
Is this going to that kind of occasion? Zheng Chan hesitated. But her husband's order could not be disobeyed, Zheng Chan still carefully put on makeup, chose her favorite clothes to change into, and quietly waited for her husband to pick her up.
It was almost ten o'clock when the carriage stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and the military uniform was straight. Zhou Yi, who had shiny riding boots, carried a horsewhip into the yard, and shouted instead of entering the house, "Okay?" Let's go. Zheng Chan went out of the room.
Zhou Yi helped his wife into the carriage, and turned over the big white horse he liked - a very divine horse, which is said to be of Western breed, "I thought the commander would go, but even Chen Chao didn't come." ”
"Commander Long is in Yanzhou?"
"Well, he just left for Yi County." Zhou Yi whipped the horse under his crotch, and the horse ran smoothly, and the carriage followed. Towards West Street You's house.
The street gate of You's house is already very lively. Zhou Yi reined in his horse, "Oh, don't tell the people of the You family that the commander has been to Yanzhou. ”
"Well, I know it."
"Zhou Biaotong Zhou is here." Someone shouted in a sharp, clear voice. A new cluster of You Houcheng has already caught up. Clench your fists and bow your hands. "Oh, welcome. Lord Zhou and his wife came in person, which really made the mansion shine. ”
"Mrs. Zhou. Just now, my niece girl was talking to you, please sit in the room. This is the voice of You Houcheng's short and fat wife Guo. Twisting his little feet forward, Guo grabbed Zheng Chan, who had a big belly, "General Zhou, Madame will be handed over to me, you can rest assured." ”
"Oh, is Sister Shu here?" Zheng Chan was pleasantly surprised.
"No, it's Xiaoxian. Shu'er's child is small, so she really can't leave. ”
"Oh. I should go to Yizhou to see Sister Shu. Zheng Chan remembered Chen Shu. At that time, Chen Shu worked in the infirmary, and often went to Zheng Chan's house to chat and tease Mao Mao. Compared with Chen Shu, Zheng Chan and Chen Xian are much stranger.
Remembering what her husband had just said, the You family didn't know that their big backer was in Yanzhou, but they didn't come to congratulate them, but quietly went to Yixian. Still, there's someone to talk to.
When Zheng Chan learned that Chen Xian and her mother would return to Zhengjiazhuang from Yanzhou, she immediately moved the idea of going back to have a look. It had been two years since she came out of that mountain, and she often returned to that land in her dreams.
"Ah, my mother is also in the village, can you take your car back together?" Zheng Chan grabbed Chen Xian's arm and shook it.
"You're heavy, okay? Besides, Zhou Biaotong doesn't worry about you going back, right? ”
"It's only been more than six months, so there should be nothing to do." With this thought, Zheng Chan's desire to return to the old mansion became more urgent.
The characteristic of doing happy events is chaos. Finally found an opportunity, Zheng Chan mentioned her plan to Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi pondered for a moment, "I'm worried that your body is heavy, and it's ...... such a long way."
"It's very comfortable to make a carriage. Master Chen's family has gone back, just to be a companion," Zheng Chan's eyes were full ......of pleading.
"Don't worry. Anyway, they didn't leave today...... "There are many guests who come to say goodbye, most of the people in the Yizhou government know Zhou Yi, and they keep coming to say hello, Zheng Chan immediately left her husband with interest.
Three days later, Zheng Chan finally got into You Shi and Chen Xian's carriage, and the two security guards from Yizhou and the three cavalry sent by Zhou Yi escorted the female dependents to Zhengjiazhuang. The morning went early, and at dusk, the three women sitting in the carriage could already see the watchtower outside the north gate of Zhengjiazhuang. It is said that it was repaired by a Beijing official in Zhengjiazhuang who passed the imperial examination one hundred and fifty years ago for his old mother. Climb the watchtower and you can look out over the capital thousands of miles away. Now the bright red military flag of the Mengshan Army is still fluttering on the watchtower, and the style of the military flag is still the same, but the three big characters in Ning Shijun's handwriting have been removed.
Seeing the watchtower, Zheng Chan's eyes turned red. You Shi was also very excited, and after two years, he finally came back.
The north gate of Zhengjiazhuang still stands the sentry of the Mengshan Army, the style of the military uniform is exactly the same as the Yanzhou garrison, entering the familiar street, Zheng Chan was surprised to find that there are many soldiers on the street, she thought that the soldiers of the Mengshan Army have entered Yanzhou and Yizhou.
"Ah, there are so many soldiers." Zheng Chan said softly.
Squad Leader Wu of the Second Standard Guard Company who escorted them said with a smile, "There is a reserve headquarters here." ”
What the reserve is, Zheng Chan and You's mother and daughter can't say clearly.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Zheng family's mansion, You Shi and Chen Xian refused Zheng Chan's invitation, and they were in a hurry to return to the old mansion of the Chen family.
There was a sentry at the gate of Zheng's house, and it was a soldier who looked like a child, who stopped Zheng Chan, even if there was an explanation from squad leader Wu, he had to let his superiors let him go.
"Look at you as a recruit." Squad Leader Wu said angrily, "Didn't I tell you, she is Zhou Biaotong's wife, and this is her home." ”
"I don't know who Zhou Biaotong is. I can't let you in without an order! "The creeps are very stubborn.
During the dispute, Wang Mingyuan came out of the courtyard, "Hey, isn't this Miss Zheng?" When will you come back? "I'm still used to calling Miss Zheng.
"Commander Wang, your soldiers won't let me go home." After a day's ride, Zheng Chan was already tired and sat on the stone steps in front of the door.
"Nonsense! She is Zhou Biaotong's wife! Wang Mingyuan reprimanded the little soldier, and then said to Zheng Chan, "I'm sorry, I'll go back with you." He wanted to reach out to help Zheng Chan up, but stretched out his hand and retracted it, "Your mother is here." All right? I'm going to have someone help you in? "He saw Zheng Chan's big belly, why did he walk so far with such a heavy body?" Zhou Biaotong is also yes, and he is also relieved to let you come back. Are you alone? ”
"Mrs. Chen Zhuang and Chen Xian are also back, and they have returned to Chenjiaya."
"Really? Mrs. Chen is back? Hey, just ask, when will Ye Yanbing, this kid's wine, be done? Wang Mingyuan turned his face to squad leader Wu and the other three soldiers and said, "Three brothers, please come in, you go and tell Chief of Staff Fan and let him entertain the three brothers of the second target." ”
Zheng Chan stood up, "Then I'll go in." ”
"Let's get in. Your mother still lives in the old yard. By the way, my headquarters is in the courtyard where Commander Long lived, and if you have any needs, you can tell me. ”
"Xie Lu, Commander Xie Wang." Zheng Chan smiled at Wang Mingyuan.
Wang Mingyuan watched Zheng Chan and the three soldiers walk into the courtyard, turned around and walked in the direction of Chenjiaya. (To be continued......)
PS: It's true that the current draft is a bit off the outline. But the portrayal of the protagonist did not deviate from the predetermined track. Long Qian is not a saint, he can make mistakes, and he has the same seven emotions and six desires as ordinary people. But at the beginning of the business, he had to be patient. Throughout history, which successful person was not a man with his tail between his legs at the beginning of his business?
